Summary: In the spring of 2002, the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals published Bicycle Parking Guidelines, a basic guide to the selection and placement of bicycle racks specifically for short-term parking. (This document is available as a free download here.) Since then, the rapid growth of bicycling, particularly in urban areas, has led to many innovations in the field of bicycle parking. This second edition of Bicycle Parking Guidelines updates the original guide and adds material on long-term and sheltered parking, as well as event parking, in-street bicycle parking, and bicycle transit centers. The new edition is now a comprehensive resource for practitioners and includes (highlighted items are new to the second edition):

• General bicycle parking principles and definitions of bicycle parking terms
• Guidance for both short- and long-term bicycle parking
• Elements of a good rack or locker, including specific performance criteria
• Maintenance best practices
• Sample site plans and diagrams to help avoid blunders in rack and locker placement
• Sample quantity requirements for bicycle parking to meet need by land use
• A worksheet for programming bicycle parking for a building or cluster of buildings
• Abundant images and charts to illustrate concepts and conditions
